Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or cheddar)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder or your favorite herbs (optional)
- Parchment paper for baking
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder or herbs. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Chips: Spoon small portions of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each spoonful into thin, round circles about the size of a chip, making sure they are evenly thin for crispy baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chips to ensure they turn golden brown and become crispy without burning.
- Cool Chips: Once baked, allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up further, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Serve the crispy cottage cheese chips plain or with your favorite dips such as guacamole or salsa for a tasty low-carb snack.
Notes
- Ensure chips are flattened thinly for maximum crispiness.
- Watch baking time closely to prevent burning as oven temperatures may vary.
- Substitute Parmesan with cheddar or other hard cheeses for different flavors.
- These chips are best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
- Adding herbs or spices can customize the taste according to your preference.
